00:00Those lights and that tree, it's just, it's beautiful.
00:06You can thank our town constable for the tree.
00:08It's doing my assigned task.
00:09Well, it makes me smile just to look at it.
00:12What's Christmas without the perfect tree?
00:14Harper's Bazaar?
00:16How did that magazine even know about our town?
00:18I have no idea why I showed up one day saying Brookfield was one of three towns selected to be in its country Christmas edition.
00:25That magazine sells all over North America.
00:27Indeed.
00:28We were already planning on having a festival, but this inspired us to go even bigger.
00:33How lovely are thy branches?
00:38Well, obviously word of my hotel has spread.
00:41Oh, you think you're the reason for the magazine's interest?
00:44What else could it be?
00:45Maybe an out-of-towner tried one of my delectable pastries.
00:48Or maybe they were charmed by my general store.
00:51Right, right.
00:52Pastries and canned goods are the reason for our sudden acclaim.
00:55Ronnie?
00:56Tess?
00:57What's that growing on your face?
00:59Oh, this.
01:00I, uh, thought I'd add a touch of class to this town.
01:03By disguising yourself?
01:05Huh.
01:07Just kidding.
01:09Looks great.
01:10Right, Debbie?
01:11Nice wagon.
01:24Thanks.
01:25You must be busy with Eleanor gone for the holidays.
01:27Ah, fortunately the older children really help out.
01:30Ah, that's good.
01:31Yeah.
01:31What are you looking at there, Theo?
01:33You think Santa will get me Lincoln Logs?
01:36Oh.
01:37Oh, I don't know.
01:39Santa might think that you could use some new pants.
01:41But I'd rather have Lincoln Logs.
01:44Well, we'll see what he brings.
01:46But maybe we could build a toy cabin out of some wood in our own backyard.
01:56Whoa.
01:56Hey, Harley.
02:02Is that one of ours?
02:04Found her out near my barn.
02:05She was looking for feed.
02:07Sorry about that.
02:08Not a problem.
02:09I'll go get someone.
02:14So, how's Lucy working out as a foreman?
02:18Ah, she's fine.
02:20You wanted that job, right?
02:21Of course, I wouldn't.
02:23Why do you think Tess gave her the job and not you?
02:25You'd have to ask Tess.
02:27You don't think her last name had anything to do with it?
02:30I'm sure it didn't hurt.
02:39Hey, straight in the back when we get back.
02:42You made my favorite story tonight.
02:44Again?
02:45No.
02:46Okay, okay.
02:47Hey, it's my turn.
02:49No, it's mine.
02:50Everyone will get a turn.
02:51Oh, hey.
02:52Watch it.
02:52Sorry, Tess.
02:53Well, just watch where you're walking.
02:55Sorry, Mrs. Stewart.
02:56I want you all to be more careful, especially with that bike.
03:01It's okay.
03:02It's okay.
03:02It's not like we don't miss Grace and Chuck, too.
03:32Once upon a time, there was a valiant young man who wanted to watch over a beautiful fair maiden.
03:55For when they met, it was love at first sight.
03:58The fair maiden was funny and creative and hardworking, but most of all, she had a really big heart.
04:07She decided to bring a child to a faraway land to be reunited with her family.
04:13And when the valiant man found out, he rushed over to let her know exactly how he felt about her.
04:20Ooh.
04:21Yeah.
04:22After the fair maiden left, the valiant man missed her terribly.
04:28So, do you know what he did?
04:30He jumped on the boat and married her in England.
04:33No, that's the very end.
04:34He wrote to her and professed his love.
04:36Mm-hmm.
04:37Why didn't he fight any dragons?
04:39Well, he didn't come across any.
04:40Well, I think it would be more valiant if he did.
04:42I like dragons.
04:44Tomorrow we'll be destroyed with dragons.
04:46Let Miss Logan get to the end.
04:47Yeah.
04:48Who wants dragons when they can have happily ever after?
04:54Hoo-hoo-hoo!
04:57Boy, oh boy!
04:59Ow!
05:01Hoo-hoo-hoo!
05:03Boy, how?
05:04Oh, oh, oh!
05:05My heart is racing!
05:06On a better road, this car will hit 45 miles an hour.
05:10No worries.
05:10Ah!
05:11You'll be practically flying.
05:12No kidding?
05:13Yeah, but listen, about the price, you know, can we, uh, maybe look him down a little bit?
05:18I get it.
05:19Well, you get what?
05:21Well, this car ain't for everyone.
05:22What do you mean?
05:23Maybe I should find you something less powerful and elegant.
05:26No, no, yeah, yeah, I love this car.
05:28I mean, the constant attention from women, the envy of other men, that's a lot to handle.
05:32Oh, I can handle that.
05:33I have another interested buyer.
05:34Maybe I should give you...
05:34No, no, no, no, no, I'll take it.
05:36I'll pay a full price.
05:37Now, that's the attitude of a man who drives this car.
05:39You don't ask, you demand.
05:41Yeah, but listen, you know, mind if I take a few days?
05:44No, no, no, no, my hotel is hopping.
05:46I'll have the cash by Christmas.
05:47I'll hold it till Christmas.
05:48Great!
05:49$20 up front.
05:52Fine.
06:00Oh, baby.
06:08Can I wait for Christmas to start?
06:11You can say that?
06:12What are your plans?
06:13Spending with the family.
06:16How's your father?
06:17It's fine now.
06:19The gift is quite a scare.
06:21I look forward to the time with him.
06:24How about you?
06:26Headed to Clearwater after work.
06:28I'll shop for a couple days, then go to my folks' ranch.
06:32Spending your form and wages?
06:33Yeah.
06:35I guess I will be.
06:44Such a good girl.
06:47Yeah, a good girl.
06:51Chuck?
06:53What are you doing up there?
06:55I'm looking for my present.
06:56And what makes you think we'd hide it up there?
06:59Because it seemed like a good hiding place.
07:01Well, the fact you're looking there means that it's not.
07:04Come on down.
07:10Mrs. Stewart?
07:11The feed is on its way to the Eastern Range.
07:14Good.
07:15Tomorrow we start repairs on the fence of the Southern Range.
07:17But we don't have any cattle in the Southern Range.
07:20Not at the moment.
07:27I guess our Christmas break will have to wait another day.
07:31Come on.
07:40Sam?
07:44Can you make sure our carolers stick to the schedule?
07:47The schedules aren't my strong suit.
07:50Please?
07:51You sure?
07:52Yeah.
08:11Oh, excuse me, Constable.
08:13Can you tell me how to get to New Hope Orphanage?
08:16I can do better.
08:16I can take you there myself.
08:18Are you sure?
08:18I'm dropping something off there.
08:19My wagon's around the back.
08:20Oh, thank you.
08:22This town is beautiful.
08:24Well, you could take this woman right here.
08:26I've had a lot of help.
08:28Maggie Farson.
08:28Oh, Abigail Stanton.
08:29Maggie.
08:30Oh, excuse me.
08:32What are you doing here?
08:34Wait, you're writing the article for Harper's Bazaar?
08:37I am.
08:38Did you know it was in Brookfield?
08:40Guilty as charged.
08:41Will you join me for dinner tonight?
08:42Of course.
08:43Of course.
08:46Hi.
08:47Welcome to the Royal Brookfield, sir.
08:49How may I help you?
08:50I'd like a room, please.
08:52Certainly.
08:53Let's have a look.
08:56Well, today is your lucky day, my friendly.
08:59I have one room left.
09:00What's your rate?
09:01Two dollars.
09:03Bit pricey, don't you think?
09:05Well, this is a first-class establishment, sir.
09:08As a matter of fact, a magazine is doing a spread on this place.
09:11Really?
09:11Mm-hmm.
09:12Now, the article might include a word or two about the people in the town, but it'll mainly
09:16be about my hotel.
09:18That's news to me.
09:19Paul Franklin, Harper's Bazaar.
09:24Ronnie Stewart.
09:26Should have said something.
09:27Hey, prankster.
09:28Well, your room, of course, is free of charge, Mr. Franklin.
09:32Oh, no, no, no, I don't take free stuff.
09:35It compromises my journalistic integrity.
09:38You understand, right?
09:39Of course.
09:40Yes, integrity is my middle name.
09:43Well, there you are, sir.
09:44You have the suite, second floor, third door you lift.
09:54That doesn't fit.
09:56It almost does.
09:57Almost doesn't count.
10:00This is hard.
10:01When something's hard, you feel even greater accomplishment when you complete it.
10:06But you know what I think?
10:08I think it's time for a cookie break.
10:10Yes.
10:10Is that the new boy?
10:25I believe so.
10:26Why couldn't it have been a girl?
10:30Let's go say hello.
10:33Thank you, Constance.
10:34Abigail.
10:35Oh, it's so nice to see you.
10:45Oh, lovely.
10:46You remember my son, Cody?
10:48Of course.
10:48Well, you have grown.
10:51And you must be Roy.
10:53Roy's not a big talker.
10:55Okay.
10:56Nice to meet you, Roy.
10:58Oh, come here.
10:59You want us to show you your room?
11:07Oh, that's a great idea.
11:08Come on, guys.
11:10Go on, Roy.
11:14Roy.
11:15I'm Vincent.
11:16It's right through here.
11:16You'll be sleeping in my bunk, but I get the top.
11:21Miss Lillian decides who sleeps where.
11:23Just, you know, no one knows Virginia said to me.
11:26No one likes milking cows, Mary Louise.
11:29We also have a bike, if you know to ride.
11:33Thank you for the tree, Gabriel.
11:34It's beautiful.
11:35Where would you like it?
11:36Just in the living room.
11:37I'll move the smaller one into the dining room.
11:39Cody, can you help Mountie Gabriel?
11:41Sure.
11:41Sure.
11:41This one used to be Christian's.
11:52And this one was Fred's.
11:53They were adopted.
11:55They were really nice.
11:57We write to each other.
11:59This isn't like the other places.
12:01It's better.
12:03But we are expected to do chores.
12:07So Grace is married and living in London?
12:10Mm-hmm.
12:10She is doing so well.
12:12But how about you?
12:13Rosemary told me you were taking care of your mother.
12:15Oh, yes.
12:16She was quite ill, but thank God she's okay now.
12:19Good.
12:20And so how do you know Roy?
12:23I knew of Roy through my cousin,
12:25who runs a big orphanage near my mother.
12:27Mm-hmm.
12:29Roy's been to three different orphanages,
12:30and he just...
12:32he just hasn't done well.
12:34Mm-hmm.
12:35Roy's father died in a traffic accident four years ago.
12:39Mm-hmm.
12:40And his mother and unborn sister died during childbirth shortly after that.
12:44Oh, that poor boy.
12:45My cousin has tried to get him to open up, but he just won't.
12:50And she would have kept trying, but...
12:53I seem to remember that you really connected with your children.
12:58So I thought it was worth a shot.
13:00Yeah, of course.
13:01We finished setting up the tree.
13:04Oh, thank you.
13:06Constable, would you mind giving us a ride back into town?
13:08We need to get a room.
13:09Oh, no, you won't be staying with us.
13:11The hotel's probably booked anyway.
13:14That's very kind of you, Lillian.
13:15It's my pleasure.
13:20You're welcome.
13:21You're really good at this.
13:44It takes patience.
13:45Girls.
13:46I'm so close to finishing.
13:49Oh.
13:50Then you can finish tomorrow.
13:53It's time for bed.
13:54Good night.
14:15Are you sleeping with your eyes open?
14:19He's awake, Theo.
14:20He just doesn't like to talk.
14:22Why?
14:23It's bedtime.
14:25Good night.
14:26Good night, Miss Lillian.
14:28Good night.
14:28Good night.
14:39Hey, Roy.
14:42I know you've had a hard time at your other orphanages,
14:45but I really hope it's going to be different for you here.
14:49Okay.
14:50I'm going to take care of you.
14:51Okay.
14:53Everything's going to be okay.
14:54Good night.
14:54Good night.
15:08Good night.
15:12And then when my editor said he wanted a Country Christmas article, I suggested Brooklyn.
15:36Thank you for that. So, how long have you been at Harper's Bazaar?
15:41Oh, a year. Yeah. They said they wanted another travel writer, so I just sold them on that detention.
15:47And you miss being a beat reporter?
15:49You kidding? Hearing you talk about your travels inspired me to seek more than a headline.
15:55I couldn't be happier.
15:57No word.
15:59So, what about you?
16:01You said you wanted to experience the great Northwest. I thought you were talking about a few weeks. Here you are, over a year later.
16:09Uh, well, I run the infirmary.
16:12No doubt, with great flair.
16:14Well, I suppose I've taken to the town. The town to me.
16:20That's great. I just want to capture the magic of this place.
16:25Well, I have no doubt you will.
16:31Rise and shine.
16:43No!
16:48I was so close!
16:51It's all gone! It's all gone!
16:53Nora!
16:55What happened?
16:57Where's Roy?
16:59Roy?
17:00Roy!
17:11This is, uh, highly unusual.
17:13Oh, it's fine. I can get by with the other two drawers.
17:17One drawer may be problematic.
17:25Is this, uh, going to go into your article?
17:28I can't really say.
17:30I'll tell you what, I will get you a brand new dresser.
17:32You sure?
17:33Not a problem.
17:34This is a first class establishment.
17:36I remember you saying that.
17:38Why don't I take that?
17:42It's difficult.
17:45So how are things with you and Lillian going?
17:48It's fine. Why?
17:50I seem to recall the two of you were almost an item.
17:54Well, we're just good friends.
17:57My wife, when she was alive, was my best friend.
18:02Sometimes we have a point here, Joe.
18:04No, I'm just regaling in my greatest accomplishment.
18:11Remind me again, what's the mounting motto?
18:14I pulled the right.
18:16I pulled the right.
18:17What could be more right than winning the heart of the woman of your dreams?
18:23Out to Kizzo!
18:24Roy is gone!
18:26Hey, Lucy!
18:28I rode the entire Southern Range and, you know, I saw you did a lot.
18:31I pushed them hard.
18:32They're just what I want from my foreman.
18:35We'll finish the rest right after Christmas.
18:37Can't stop now.
18:38What do you mean?
18:39We're going to need all that fencing repaired before we get the herd in.
18:47But that'll take a week?
18:49Well, maybe less.
18:50Rate your movie.
18:51That means working through Christmas.
18:52There's scrub on that range.
18:53We get the herd in, I save on supplemental seeds, so...
18:56Yeah, we were all looking forward to spending Christmas with our families.
18:59I don't want to tell you something.
19:00What's your credit for?
19:02The money.
19:03What?
19:04What's your credit for?
19:05How's my credit for?
19:06How's my credit for my credit for?
19:07Christmas with our families.
19:08I don't want to disappoint them.
19:09My cattle were looking forward to eating.
19:11I don't want to disappoint them.
19:13I understand that, but...
19:14Listen, it's been a mild winter.
19:16I need to take advantage of that.
19:18I get it, it's just...
19:19Is there any way I can get the time off?
19:28Sure there is.
19:29You can quit.
19:36Then I quit.
19:37Wait, hold on a sec.
19:38Can we talk?
19:40Hank almost lost his father this year.
19:42He was looking forward to the time with him.
19:45Yeah, I was going to give him the time off
19:46after we get the herd in.
19:47With all due respect,
19:49you're not being fair.
19:51With all due respect,
19:53my ranch, my rules.
19:57Well, if he quits,
19:59I quit.
20:03Come on, let's go.
20:05Where?
20:05Wherever we please.
20:07We're no longer employees of the Stewart Ranch.
20:10Anyone else?
20:12Anyone else not want to work?
20:14Feel free to join them.
20:18I need the work, ma'am.
20:20I'll see you tomorrow, Pete.
20:28Roy!
20:35Roy!
20:35I moved here when I bought the bakery
20:38from my Aunt Pearl about six months ago.
20:41And how'd you like it?
20:42I love it.
20:43Everyone in the town has welcomed me with open arms.
20:45Well, maybe the best way to a town's heart
20:47is to its sweet.
20:49Do you mind if I take your photograph?
20:51Sure.
20:51It's good.
21:04Come on.
21:07Right.
21:09I'll see you later.
21:14Good.
21:15Here.
21:15Ben, did you happen to be selling a dress suit?
21:34Yeah, we are.
21:37My son's been taking piano lessons, and he's really good.
21:41So the missus and I would like to buy him a used piano for Christmas.
21:45We figured if we sold some furniture.
21:47Yeah, good plan, good plan.
21:48Hey, now, about the dresser?
21:50It's at my house.
21:51Perfect.
21:51I'll swing by.
21:53Oh, great.
21:54All righty.
21:56Gabriel, over here.
22:01There's a path just through there.
22:02There's a path.
22:14There's a path.
22:15There's a path.
22:19What?
22:34It's okay.
22:35It's okay.
22:35It's okay.
22:36Let me go.
22:37I'm not going anywhere.
22:37I'm not giving up on you.
22:39Okay?
22:40It's okay.
22:41It's okay.
22:42Oh, that a girl.
22:51Hey, Ronnie.
22:52Ben, how are you?
22:54Good.
22:55You still have that dresser, I hope?
22:57Oh, yes.
22:58Come on in.
22:59Watch your blood.
23:02Oh, nice.
23:06There it is.
23:08I brought it downstairs.
23:09Oh, thank you, Ben.
23:11Let's have a boo, shall we?
23:13It's been in my wife's family for a couple of generations.
23:17Oh, that's pretty old then, I guess.
23:19Oh, look at the craftsmanship, though.
23:22Quite an ache right there.
23:24First time Timmy threw a ball.
23:26Turns out he can throw better than I can catch.
23:28The missus wasn't very happy.
23:31Two dollars.
23:34Well, we'd need four more dollars for the used piano,
23:36so that's too steep for this old piece, Ben.
23:39Well, what else are you selling?
23:42Well, um, we're a little reluctant to sell much more of our stuff.
23:49You, uh, say Timmy really has his heart set on that piano for Christmas, huh?
23:54He plays like an angel.
23:55Yeah, sounds like a prodigy.
24:03Dashing through the snow
24:04In a one-horse open sleigh
24:07Over the fields we go
24:09Laughing all the way
24:11Over the fields we go
24:13Hold on there, girl.
24:16What the?
24:17Oh, for the love of Pete.
24:20Hang on there, sweetheart.
24:21Easy, girl. Easy, girl.
24:29Ah, the crit girl.
24:32Oh, great.
24:34All right, this is gonna take some time, sweetheart.
24:37All right.
24:37That's a girl.
24:38That's a girl.
24:40All right.
24:41Come on.
24:42Oh, yeah.
24:44I know she's here.
24:45What's that?
24:54That a girl.
24:57What have we got here?
25:10Well, would you look at that?
25:13So you're gonna keep me company?
25:15When did you meet Miss Lillian?
25:17When she was in Home Valley with her sister.
25:19They were on their way to start your orphanage.
25:21Think we got enough walnuts?
25:23We got enough for ten pies.
25:25I love pies.
25:27Who doesn't?
25:28We gotta stop at the general store.
25:38Look.
25:39Reindeer.
25:41Wow.
25:41Not just any reindeer.
25:46What do you mean?
25:48Dasher, dancer, prancer, vixen, comet, cupid, donor, blixen.
25:57Hi, guys.
26:00Mr. Stewart is Santa Claus.
26:04Santa Claus?
26:05What are you guys doing over there?
26:08Don't say anything.
26:17Violet!
26:26Are you okay?
26:30I've never had a child run away before.
26:36My cousin told me that Roy has run away from every orphanage he's been at.
26:40I want this place to be different than all the others.
26:43Lillian, it is.
26:47Theo wants Lincoln locks, not clothes.
26:49All these kids deserve to have their Christmas wishes come true.
26:55Lillian, they're in a loving home.
26:58That is your gift to them.
27:02I know.
27:04I started this orphanage with Grace.
27:08Sometimes I wonder if I can do it alone.
27:10Are you alone?
27:11I do have some wonderful friends.
27:18Well, wonderful friends is a good place to start.
27:31Whoa.
27:32Look at the selection.
27:33Did you make all of this?
27:35Most, but not all.
27:36Some were donated by Townsville for the festival.
27:38So what do we got?
27:39Well, we have date cookies, pound cake, cinnamon muffins.
27:44Oh, I'm allergic to cinnamon.
27:47Good to know.
27:48We'll want to avoid those.
27:49Uh, Hungarian Christmas cookies, cashew brittle.
27:52Yeah, I'm going to go with some of the cookies.
27:54Okay.
27:56Are you ready for your big performance in a few days?
27:59Are you kidding?
28:00I was born to play Santa.
28:02Good.
28:05Thanks.
28:09Christmas in Vienna, written by Maggie Parsons.
28:28Oh, the lights on the Kraven and the Kartner's truss.
28:32As eloquently detailed in your article.
28:37Springtime in Paris, written by Maggie Parsons.
28:40Well, that practically wrote itself.
28:43My summer in Siam.
28:45I wrote an elephant.
28:46I know, because I read it.
28:48You also know I dabbled in travel writing to help cover my expenses.
28:53Well, your enthusiasm for new places is contagious.
28:58Got me on my new career path.
29:02Why?
29:04I hope you remember what brought you here.
29:07Doesn't at least part of you miss the adventure?
29:09What did your mom say we need again?
29:20Flour and sugar.
29:28Violet?
29:31Come on.
29:31Come on.
29:36Wow, I just can't believe that she would say that.
29:39So what, you just decided to quit?
29:41Yeah.
29:43I gave my ranch hands Christmas off.
29:45Wow.
29:47Tess obviously feels different.
30:04Whoa.
30:06There's a good girl.
30:09It's Santa.
30:12It's Santa.
30:21Come on.
30:26Oh, Mr. Franklin.
30:27There you are, sir.
30:28Here, I got your new dresser right here, sir.
30:30Are you sure it's new?
30:31Even better.
30:32It's an antique.
30:33Like I said, I...
30:34I know you run a first-class establishment.
30:36Absolutely.
30:38Thank you for this dream, Mountie Gabriel.
30:41It's my pleasure.
30:42Mountie Gabriel is a good friend.
30:45In Hope Valley, I knew some Mounties.
30:47They were all good men.
30:48Uh, Nathan Grant has been to Brookfield a few times, and has served under Jack Thornton in the Northern Territories.
30:54Really?
30:55He was a good man.
30:57Yes, he was.
30:58Look at that.
31:08Train set.
31:10Wow, that's...
31:12That's...
31:14Maybe a bit pricey for Santa.
31:16I want a raggedy hand, doll.
31:20You know what I think?
31:21I think we should be grateful for whatever Santa brings us.
31:28Oh, look who's here.
31:30Hide your puzzle, Nora.
31:32Vincent.
31:37Hey.
31:39I need all you kids to make an effort to help Roy feel welcome here.
31:42Okay.
31:43We'll try.
31:45You know what I always say?
31:46Actions speak louder than words.
31:57Can I have a word with him?
31:59Sure.
32:05What?
32:06Oh, I know that look.
32:08What does that mean?
32:10What is it about young women and Mounties?
32:12What are we going to do?
32:28You're not going to find a better place than this.
32:32Are you an expert on orphanages?
32:33No.
32:35But my job is to know people.
32:39And Miss Lillian is as good as it gets.
32:43She wants the best for you, Roy.
32:47I don't care.
32:48You should.
32:48And now, you've made a mess of it with the other kids.
32:58It's going to be on you to make amends.
33:05What makes you happy, Roy?
33:09I think it's running away.
33:10I think it's going to be on you.
33:18Okay.
33:18I'll leave you alone.
33:22I remember me and my dad playing catch.
33:25That made me happy.
33:30Yeah.
33:33Who doesn't love playing catch with their dad?
33:50Okay.
33:51How can I help?
33:52Oh, I think we have this covered.
33:54The burner gone, the extra hands.
33:57Sure, a big help.
33:58If you need even more help,
34:00I hear Lucy Clay is looking for work.
34:02How will she test this foreman?
34:04So?
34:05Not anymore.
34:07What happened?
34:07Careful.
34:21Careful.
34:49Tess?
34:51Oh, what the...
34:52What are you doing here?
34:56Is it true you're making your ranch hands work through Christmas?
34:58It's a free country. I'm not making anybody do anything.
35:02Now, how's this any of your business?
35:04It's a small town, and what you do affects everyone.
35:07Besides, we're practically family, so I was actually hoping to invite you...
35:12Yeah, no, we are not family.
35:14And after what you did, we never will be.
35:18What did I do?
35:19That's what you didn't do.
35:20You didn't convince Grace to come home.
35:23My son's got to go chasing after her.
35:25Like you said, it's a free country.
35:28This is the first Christmas. First one.
35:30I won't be spending with him.
35:32Even when he was at veterinary college, he'd come home every year for the holiday.
35:36We only ever had one.
35:41One what?
35:43Christmas.
35:45Since I was seven, I've had exactly one Christmas with Grace.
35:48Then why didn't you convince her to come back?
35:55Because that's not what she wants.
35:56She's young. She doesn't know what she wants.
35:59She deserves to find happiness.
36:03Doesn't Chuck?
36:08I've got a fence to repair.
36:10Maggie!
36:23You look happy.
36:25I just got my next two assignments.
36:27Okay.
36:28Times Square on New Year's Eve.
36:30Ooh, sounds like fun.
36:31Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
36:33Even more fun.
36:35That's not the best part.
36:37Before I left, I showed you Christmas in Vienna article to my editor.
36:41Why?
36:41Because they're looking for another travel writer.
36:45And I just got a telegram saying they want to hire you.
36:48Really?
36:49And the carnival assignment isn't just an article.
36:52There's a whole special edition devoted to it.
36:54They're going to need two writers.
36:55You would be coming with me to Rio.
36:58But I'm the nurse here.
37:00Well, they can get another nurse.
37:01Because this magazine is offering to pay you to do what you love most.
37:07And the way that you absorb places and experiences, it's a gift.
37:14Oh, I have to admit, it sounds fun.
37:16Yes.
37:16No, but let me give it some thought.
37:18What's there to think about?
37:20Okay, okay.
37:22But hold on to it.
37:27Just think of the possibilities.
37:31Can I help you?
37:55Oh, yes.
37:57I need to mail this letter.
37:59Yes, I'm delivering telegrams now, but I'll be sure it's sent out.
38:02Um, it's important.
38:05Please be careful with it.
38:07I promise you, this will get to Henry Gala.
38:17Excuse me.
38:18You want help with the puzzle?
38:27I'm busy right now.
38:28Doing what?
38:29Writing the Santa.
38:30Isn't it a little too late to be mailing letters to the North Pole?
38:33He's not there right now.
38:35Then where is he?
38:36Right here in Brookfield.
38:37Tell them.
38:39You're not positive.
38:40I am.
38:41It's Mr. Stewart.
38:44Mr. Stewart?
38:45We saw him with his reindeers and his wagon.
38:47Have you seen his white beard?
38:49Are you sure it's him?
38:51I can feel it in my bones.
38:53Dear Santa, please give me a radio flyer wagon.
38:59I have been good all year.
39:00Well, most of the year.
39:04Do you have more paper?
39:05Come on.
39:06What can it hurt?
39:10Easy.
39:10It's the people.
39:12The people here stick together.
39:14Never was that more true than when my first store burned down.
39:17Have you ever been outside of the territory?
39:19No, I was born and raised in Spring Hill, about 70 miles south of here.
39:24This is as far as I got.
39:26Ah, pardon me, boys.
39:28Joe, I just need to be sure your Santa suit had arrived.
39:32It hasn't.
39:33Bother.
39:37Sam?
39:37Yeah?
39:39Our Santa suit is still in clear water.
39:43Do you want me to pick it up?
39:44That would be fabulous.
39:45Um, I'll take over the carolers?
39:48Sure.
39:49Yeah.
39:57Hello.
39:58Can you and the kids come out and play?
40:01Sure.
40:03Kids!
40:04So the game is called football.
40:06It's played in colleges around the country.
40:08There's even talk of starting a professional league next year.
40:11What's a professional league?
40:13It means people are paid to play.
40:15Are we going to be paid right now?
40:18No.
40:19This is just for fun.
40:20Aw.
40:20I want to be paid.
40:23So we'll divide into two teams.
40:26And the idea is to score as many touchdowns as possible.
40:29So I'll be one team captain, but we will need another.
40:31Well, we need someone who has a burning desire to win, but who won't cry if they lose.
40:41And a natural leader of young men and women who has a history of starting something from nothing.
40:48And someone who does not expect to be paid.
40:51Hey, look.
40:59We have a volunteer.
41:06Oh.
41:08Hey.
41:09Is that for your family get-together?
41:12We were planning a big Christmas meal.
41:14What about you?
41:15I thought you were headed to Claywater.
41:18My, uh, my plans changed.
41:21Don't have those four-man wages anymore.
41:24Something like that.
41:27Uh, I'll see you around.
41:30Hey, Lucy.
41:34You didn't have to quit.
41:36It was the right thing to do.
41:40I'm not sure I would have stuck my neck out that way.
41:42I guess that is what makes you a great foreman.
41:50Thanks.
41:50Thanks.
41:59Hi.
42:00Yeah.
42:01Hi.
42:01Hi.
42:01Hi.
42:01Hi.
42:01Hi.
42:01Hi.
42:02Hi.
42:02Hi.
42:02Hi.
42:03Hi.
42:03Hi.
42:04Hi.
42:05Hi.
42:06Hi.
42:07Hi.
42:08Hi.
42:09Hi.
42:10Hi.
42:11Hi.
42:12Hi.
42:12Hi.
42:14Hi.
42:16Hi.
42:17Yes.
42:20Touchdown.
42:21That's it.
42:22Yes.
42:23Whoo.
42:23Whoo.
42:23Whoo.
42:24Woo.
42:25Yes.
42:25Good job, boy.
42:27The next touchdown wins, so we need to stop in here.
42:29OK?
42:29OK.
42:31You know I'm going to intercept this,
42:32right?
42:32Oh, big talk for men and about to lose a game.
42:35Oh, bigger talk from a woman who just learned to play.
42:37So imagine your embarrassment when we win.
42:40OK.
42:42You got this.
42:43Don't cry when we win.
42:44Don't do this.
42:47You got this.
42:48Yeah.
42:48Okay, okay, okay.
42:50Stop it.
42:50Oh, oh, oh.
42:52I got it.
42:52I got it.
42:55Touchdown.
42:55Yay.
42:56I'm healthy.
42:57Are you okay?
42:58We won.
42:58We won.
42:59We won.
43:00Fantastic.
43:01We won.
43:03Very funny.
43:06I guess that was all fun.
43:07Action speak louder than words.
43:09Will you come play with us again, Mountie Kinslow?
43:11I hope.
43:11Miss Lillian gives me a rematch.
43:13I suppose it could be arranged.
43:15Well, until then, have fun.
43:19Bye, guys.
43:20Bye.
43:21Bye.
